Pitons, masterwork manacles, parchment, charcoal, ink and pen, everburning torch, and some cheap potions like protection from evil.

I did one of these a while ago. The stuff I always find I need:
Antitoxin
Antiplague
Twitch Tonic
Holy Water
Acid
Alchemist's Fire
Alkalai flask
Oils of Bless Weapon (if you use any weapon at all)
Air Crystals
Silver and Cold Iron Blanche on arrows/bolts (if you use crossbows/bows)
Also consider some basic utility items that party members might forget and need, weapon blanches, alchemist fire, oil.
Tools: shovel, pick, sledge, hammer and pitons.
A day worth of firewood. Haevy a pile of medium sized sticks is nice sometimes, and fire is pretty.
Portable bridge.... if you have the spare room and money.
I know how ridiculous that sounds, but so long as you have one person that can jump/climb/swim/fly over a gap up to 30ft, everyone can make it without further expindeture of resources, or extra risk.
Alternatively a tea set, folding chairs, a folding table, and a pavilion tent for luxury.
Don't forget enough food that you can eat before it goes bad.
It may seem strange but I always carry Marbles (3), powder (2-3), and earplugs.
The marbles can be used to check the levelness of the floor or to cause difficult terrain to opponents. The powder is an easy way to find invisible creatures. When you are expecting to go against Harpies earplugs are nice.
1-10 of every mundane item here that has "-" for weight.

This is a standard low level list I use in a normal backpack. This is a good place to start end expand from here. Either improve on things from this list or include regular items you or your party use such as scrolls, potions or expendable items like arrows, bolts and the like.
An expanded list of alchemy and potions is the first thing I add. It never hurts to have a dozen potions of healing no mater how small, they are always useful.
Dont forget the mundane items either as they may be very useful. They are often overshadowed by magic items because they dont have the glamor or excitement of the magic treasure.

in addition to the above, maybe add chalk and caltrops. Chalk is good for marking the way in dungeons or outlining disabled/sprung traps. Caltrops is self explanatory. Also, maybe cold and/or hot weather gear. Never know where your next mission will go. And blunt arrows if you use a bow in case you run into skeletons.
